This is great! I went to Afghanistan from 03-04 for OEF as a specialist and made a grand total of around $20,000 in a year. That was tax free and included hazard pay. It’s a shame how poorly our military is paid for the job they do.

Thank you for your service. And, you’re totally right. I’ve known military families whose husbands, fathers, wives, mothers were in the Middle East risking their lives for our country and their family back home was living at poverty levels. It’s a real shame.

I’m glad President Trump addressed this.
